1 it: known that I, GHARLss Bsacin a citizen. of the United fitates, residing at Muscatine,in the county of Muses-tine and State of-lowa, fha-ve inrveut ednew and useful Improvements in Detachable ,Handles for Receptacles, of which thelfollotring is {a specification. E i at, y 5

An object of the iijivention to. proi ide a handleattachment, for receptacles, and

which is"particiilarly adaptable for use inconnection with cooking receptacles-such as coffee pots and the like,,.\wherjeby the; handle can be removed whenv themeeeptaele is on the stove to heatits contents and applied to the reeeptacle when it is' desire-d te: remove and use the same so that the handle \vill zat all times be cool and permit of conveniently carrying the heated receptacle. 7

In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings. constituting a part of this specication, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which: a

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the handle applied to a coffee pot; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspeetive'view of the coffee pot showing the handle removed; Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal' sectional. View showing the handle applied; and Fig. 4: is a fragmentary perspectiveview looking at the upper portion of the handle.-

Referring morevparticularly to the views,

I disclose a receptacle 10 which, in this instance. is in the form of: a coffee pot, the said receptacle being provided with a vertical rib .11, in the upper end of which is carried a suitable hinge 12 of a cover 13 which normally closes the receptacle 10. Ari-upper bracket 14 and a lower bracket 15 are both arranged to extend transversely to the rib and are each preferably of a U-shape, with thesaid brackets being conveniently secured to the receptacle 10 and adapted to be relatively spaced apart as shown.

The upper bracket 14 carries a transverse plate 16, from which project laterally a pinrality of slotted hooks 17 formed bybending the ends of the transverse plate 16 outwardly from the upper bracket l t, bracket 15 is provided with a horizontal slot .18 formed by striking out a flange .19.

The lower westerner 19 ;5-

ssssa sasspasses-rs as nina tesiin a depending plate-22 provided with a plurality :of? openings. 23, through ,.Tlte'a1pper.endof theihandle body 20 terwhachjthe: hooks 1. Lare aidapted tQ exte d when the plate 22 ifibllhSnhQt-tlllfli the transyerse plate v 16, ,and'; a spring-{like locking member-i124: has one ';end:- irigidlyr secured; to

the upper portion of i the handle body; :o'ni its upper end not: hthe iamalseteayi to thenre r-ceptecle 10.

- A releasing member 26 in the nature of a headed pin is secured to the locking member 24 and extends loosely through an opening 27 in the upper end of the handlev body.

Now when the handle is attached to the receptacle as mentioned and it is desired to remove the same therefrom, it is only necessary to press down on the releasing member 26, thus moving the spring-like locking member 24: out of engagement with the hooks 17 and out of the slots thereof so that the upper end of the handle body can be swung away from the receptacle to permit of removing the lip 21 from the slot 18.

As mentioned heretofore. the device is I adapted to be used in connection with vessels orreceptaclcs that are to be heated, and the handle is removed at the time of placing the vessel on the stove and reapplied when it is desired to remove the vessel therefrom so that the handle at all times will be kept cool and the servant or party desiring to use the receptacle or vessel will not expose her hands to the danger of being burned and blister-ed.

From the foregoing" description it will be seen that the device is of a simple construction, can be attached as readily as it can be applied and consists of few. and simple parts.

Having thus described myinvention, I

claim: v v

1. In combination with a receptacle, upper and lower brackets secured to the receptacle, a plurality of slotted hooks projecting from the upper bracket, a flange projecting from the lower bracket to provide a slot therein,

a handle body, a lip formed on the lower" end of the handle body to extend into the slot of the lower bracket, an apcrtured plate the lower bracket formed on the upper end of the handle body and adapted to have the said hooks extend through the apertures thereof, and a springlike looking member carried by the handle body and adapted to normally extend into the slots of the said hooks to hold the handle body in engagement with the said brackets. 2. In combination with a receptacle, upper and lower brackets secured to the receptacle, a plurality of slotted hooks projecting from the upper bracket, a flange projecting from to provide a slot therein,

ahandle body, a lip formed on the lower end of the handle body to extend into the slot of the lower bracket, an apertured late formed on the upper end of the handle ody and adapted to have the said hooks extend through the apertures thereof, a spring-like locking member carried by the handle body and adapted to normally extend into the slots of the said hooks to hold the handle body in engagement with the said brackets, and a releasingmember having sliding en- 'member out of locked gagement \vith the handle body and co'operating with the said locking member for moving the same out of locking engagement with the said hooks.

In combination with a receptacle, upper and lower brackets on the receptacle, a handle body having its lower end for connection' with the lower bracket, slotted members projecting from the upper bracket to engage the upper end of the handle body, a spring-like locking member carried by the handle body to extend into the slots of the said members and lock the handle body thereto, and means for moving the locking position relatively to the said slotted members.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
